As soon as she finished her meal and stepped off the stage, Mrs. Zhang suddenly ran over in a menacing manner, took Xiang Yan's arm and dragged her back.
"You shameless person, your father and I were not at home for a while, and you came out and embarrassed yourself. What are you doing here, ah? They built a house to take care of your shit, did they invite you? Ah?
You are not ashamed, I just threw ten or twenty kilograms of rice yesterday, and you just gave it up to me like this. You are really generous, ah? You are not doing your job day by day. You don’t know what firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are.
Tea is expensive, huh?
You gave all that food to others because you wanted your father and I to drink from the northwest wind next, huh?"
They have a custom that they build a house like other people's houses, and when a child is born in the family, they have to give food to others, usually ten pounds, twenty pounds, thirty pounds, or forty pounds.
It doesn't matter whether it's fifty catties or a hundred catties, it depends on the closeness of the relationship.
It's just like in the 1990s. At that time, there was no shortage in everyone's homes, so people who gave away ten catties of rice were usually people who gave away ten catties of wheat. Those who gave away ten catties of wheat were already out of hand and lost face.
thing.
There are also those who hold full-moon banquets. In addition to the food, they usually add more than ten eggs and duck eggs, which are given to the mother-in-law, with a kind of beautiful expectations and wishes, which means
Let the mother replenish her body.
When Xiang Yan arrived at that time, she carried a bamboo basket with about ten kilograms of rice in it.
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard what she said. It turned out that it was Xiang Yan's idea to come here to congratulate her. They thought it was the old lady and the old man who had given instructions, but it turned out not to be the case.
They just said, why did the old couple suddenly change their gender? It turns out they were not at home?
However, everyone feels that this old lady's picture is really too much and is too disrespectful. Even if the two families have major disputes and conflicts, you should not come to stir up trouble and cause trouble for others on their great day.
Even if you don't like the three mothers in the family of three, the two granddaughters are still close to each other anyway. This blood relationship is stronger than water. As the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha!
Yang Juyun and Xiang Lan both glared at her angrily, and Xiang Jin, her grandmother, uncles, and the rest of the group also immediately darkened their faces, as if they didn't want to see her.
Xiang Jin didn't care, he knew what kind of person she was, so he just looked at her indifferently.
Xiang Yan's face turned red immediately, and she held her hand and begged in a low voice, "Mom, don't be like this. After all, today is also a good day for my sister-in-law and their family. What are you talking about?"
Mrs. Zhang shook her hand away with all her strength, glared at her and said harshly, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by what I mean? You don't know what the relationship between our family and them is? Are you still my sister-in-law?"
,What kind of sister-in-law? She has no relationship with your brother for a long time!
I see that you are reading so stupidly every day that you can’t wake up at all! Come on, come back with me! Isn’t it that I usually don’t get you delicious food or something, and you want to come here to be immoral and embarrassed?”
As she said that, she dragged Xiang Yan back again. Xiang Yan didn't want to be dragged so hard by her, so she started to struggle. At the same time, her face turned redder with embarrassment, "Mom, Mom, you're different,
Will you let me go?"
Mrs. Zhang turned aside and glared at her, "Let you go? Let you go for what? Let you go and let you stay here shamelessly and make people laugh? Come on, come back with me!"
"Mom, would you like me to say hello to them?" Xiang Yan pried off Mrs. Zhang's fingers and continued to struggle.
"Why are you saying hello? I'm not deaf or blind, so I can't hear or see?" Mrs. Zhang yelled again, with a distorted look on her face.
The faces of Yang Juyun and her mother-in-law suddenly turned extremely dark, and they were no different from the color of the bottom of the pot.
Xiang Yan was so frightened by her mother's roar that she immediately didn't dare to say anything, and at the same time she didn't dare to struggle, so she had to follow her obediently.
"Wait a minute," Xiang Jin's emotionless voice suddenly sounded, calling them to a stop.
Mrs. Zhang took Xiang Yan's wrist and turned sideways. She stared at Xiang Jin with a very unhappy expression and said, "Hey, what else do you want to do?"
Xiang Jin glanced at her indifferently and ignored her. Instead, he walked directly to the edge of the street eaves, lifted up a bamboo pole from there, and then walked straight in front of the two of them and said, "Put this
Take it back!"
Xiang Yan waved her hand and refused, "No, no, Xiang Jin, did I get it for you?"
Xiang Jin put it directly into her hand, "Take it, our family is not short of food!" After saying that, Xiang Jin walked back.
Xiang Yan stared at Xiang Jin's back and called with complicated eyes, "Xiang Jin?"
Xiang Jin turned sideways and said, "We understand what you mean, but our two families are really not suitable for dealing with each other, so we'd better not have any contact with each other in the future. If you make things difficult, we also feel embarrassed and uncomfortable!"
"
"Xiang Jin?" Xiang Yan's eyes turned red.
Xiang Jin just looked at her indifferently.
Mrs. Zhang snatched the rice bamboo stick from Xiang Yan's hand, and at the same time she didn't forget to give Xiang Yan a scolding, "You see, you hear, I don't want to be with you at all."
What’s the point of trying to curry favor with others if you’re still begging for nothing, you don’t think it’s embarrassing, I think it’s embarrassing!”
Xiang Yan's eyes immediately dropped, looking very sad. Granny Zhang pulled her over again and said, "Let's go back with me! It's embarrassing!"
Suddenly being pulled hard by her, Xiang Yan lost her balance and bumped straight into her back. Mrs. Zhang turned around and scolded her loudly again, "What are you doing?"
Have you lost your soul or soul? You can't see the spot even when you walk. What do you think you are thinking in your head?"
Xiang Yan looked like a doormat and stroked her hurt nose, while everyone present frowned.
Then someone came to comfort Xiang Jin and her daughter, telling them that Mrs. Zhang was just like that. No matter what she did or said, she always did it regardless of the occasion. They were told not to take it personally, and there was no need to be the same as her.
Yang Juyun said, "No, no, I have been in her family for so many years. I know what kind of people that family are, and I won't argue with her."
Everyone nodded, and then someone came to say goodbye to Xiang Jin and her daughter. Then Xiang Jin's grandmother and her mother Yang Juyun went to carry baskets and bamboo poles for others, and then brought two more to their family.
Steamed buns with white flour as a return gift.
Someone started the conversation, and people started to say they were going back one after another. After a while, the only people present left were Grandma Mo and her family of three, Xiang Yao and his grandparents, and Dad Bingchong and the others.
A couple.
They did not send food to Xiang Jin's family, but gave them money directly. The reason was that their family received enough food today, and even the white rice was probably eaten until next year. In order not to let
It would be easier for them to pile them up there and breed insects.
Grandma Mo and her family directly gave one hundred yuan, while Bingchong's father and Xiang Yao's family both gave sixty yuan. In those days, rural gifts were generally based on thirty yuan for the relationship between two families. If
If it's thirty yuan more, then the relationship is pretty good.
Yang Juyun kept refusing and said no, but several companies insisted on giving it. Xiang Yao's grandma even said that if she didn't accept it, was she looking down on them or something?
This made Yang Juyun very embarrassed and finally told Jin to stop.
Then Xiang Jin said to several more houses, "You don't need to cook at night, just come to our house to eat."
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng knew that Xiang Jin really wanted to invite them to dinner, so they did not refuse. They just looked at everyone with a smile, while Bingchong and his father were a little hesitant.
And Xiang Yao's grandmother, Granny Yang, refused politely, "Well, after eating lunch, you also want to eat dinner? No, no!"
Xiang Jin explained to them, "I was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so I prepared two extra tables of ingredients there. If you don't come to eat, wouldn't we have wasted it by then?"
But Xiang Yao's mother still refused and said, "What a waste. Aren't you going to have the craftsmen nail the grid tomorrow? Leave it until tomorrow and feed it to them then?"
Xiang Jin said, "The weather is so hot, and many of them are cooked food, so I can't go there at that time."
Xiang Jin, her grandmother and her mother also nodded vigorously, saying that they could not go at that time and asked everyone to come here to eat in the evening.
Xiang Jin and her aunt also joked and said, "Even we have to stay and help them consume some before we go back."
Grandma Mo then advised, "You can come and eat tonight. They didn't tell you politely, they were sincerely inviting you. Besides, we really won't be able to finish the meal by then, so it would be a pity if we dumped it!"
Xiang Yao was hesitant and hesitant, but finally agreed, "Okay, then we will come and have another meal for you that night."
Everyone burst into laughter immediately, and then a few senior elders sat around and started to set up the Dragon Gate Formation after being greeted by Xiang Jin and her grandmother.
Several middle-aged wives rolled up their sleeves to help Xiang Jin and her mother, Yang Juyun, clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.
Xiang Jin basically took care of the meals for several tables in the morning, so her arms were a little sore at the moment, and she really didn't want to take care of the kitchen. Seeing that there were several aunts and two aunts helping, she also
Without hesitation, he became the hands-off shopkeeper.
